Staff at Zucco restaurant in Leeds have been left ‘heartbroken’ after a car smashed into their restaurant in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
The accident has forced the restaurant to shut just a week after reopening.
The popular Italian restaurant took to its social media pages around 5am on Tuesday morning to let customers know a car had driven “straight into the restaurant”.
Sharing the news, they revealed a car crash on Meanwood road was responsible for the damage.
They also said the restaurant will be “closed for the foreseeable future” while the damage is repaired.
A further update posted around 7am said staff were heartbroken but fortunately “no one was hurt.”
Zucco’s initial Facebook post said: “To all our customers, a major car crash has happened on meanwood road and unfortunately a car has drove straight into the restaurant, we’re likely to be closed for the foreseeable future while we get this sorted. We’ll provide more information when we know more.”
This was followed by: “It breaks our hearts seeing the restaurant like this after just being able to reopen but as you can see there’s been a big crash into the front of our restaurant, luckily no one was hurt but it looks like we are going to be closed for a while again… We promise we’ll be back as soon as possible but as this has never happened to us before we have no idea when #drivesafe”
